Screencheat is a two to four player first-person shooter where everyone is invisible and the only way to eliminate your enemy or win the match is by screen cheating - as in looking at your enemies side of the screen to know where they are and hunting them down.

Screencheat is certainly a unique FPS in today’s gaming world where every shooter is almost of the same concept but with a different theme to them. Taking inspirations from classic competitive FPS games like Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, and Halo, it’s looking to be an extremely fun and competitive game with a big (invisible) twist.

SimCity offering a free 4 hour trial.

As you might expect, the SimCity free trial offer comes with a few strings attached. It's limited to the single-player mode in the Cape Trinity and Reflection Atoll regions, and only provides two save slots. It's also exclusive to the PC—haha, Mac people—and can only be played once per Origin account and per PC: If there are multiple Origin users sharing a single PC, only one will be able to score the freebie.

The trial period is good for just four hours of play, starting from the first time the game is launched, and once it's over, it's over.

Rise of the Tomb Raider to be an Xbox One exclusive...

http://tombraider.tumblr.com/post/94529480860/rise-of-the-tomb-raider-update

They confirmed it is a timed exclusive. If it actually was fully exclusive that would be big news, as it is they are just going to have staggered sales as everyone else will just wait for it to release on other platforms.
The real big news of the event was that Sony stealth revealed a new Silent Hill called "Silent Hills", they introduced it as "PT" from a fake studio. Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro are the writers/directors/producers/whatever. Kojima and Sony pulled off one of the best trolls in a games conference ever. Link for the details. (http://au.ign.com/articles/2014/08/13/hideo-kojima-and-guillermo-del-toro-are-teaming-up-for-a-new-silent-hill)

I watched both conferences and both were pretty "meh" compared to the E3 showings. 10 million PS4s sold is unsurprising, Microsoft didn't really announce anything new, Sony announced mostly new indie titles with the exceptions being Silent Hills (PT) and the re-reveal of Until Dawn. Quantum Break gameplay was amazing, Sony spent less time on gameplay footage and more on just trailers and weird stuff (Metal Gear Solid 5 boxes). I'd rate both conferences about the same, hard to complain about so many new games from Sony and all the cool Halo/Quantum Break footage Microsoft showed. As a proud owner of both a PS4 and Xbox One I'm pretty happy with the showings. I think Tokyo Game Show should be interesting as Sony will likely market the crap out of Bloodborne and possibly show off some more Kingdom Hearts 3/Final Fantasy 15 footage if Square Enix decide to pop up. If the Last Guardian exists it is either going to appear there or at the next E3. Hopefully Microsoft shows off Scalebound and maybe a new Japanese exclusive but I wouldn't bet on either unfortunately, they don't really give a hoot about the Japanese home console space.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WsqQtqwP9E&feature=youtu.be

Bloodborne gameplay, and some screenshots plus a gif. This is deservedly one of the most hyped next-gen games out there and the pick for Neogaf. For those interested, you can choose to be male or female and facial customization is present.

Wasn't having a go, sorry :p Was just letting everyone know in case anyone missed it, I guessed you would have seen it as well. Microsoft need to fire their marketing/PR teams already, they screwed up so badly with the Tomb Raider announcement. Contrast this with Sony where they went out of their way to say whether a title was "debuting first on Playstation" or "fully exclusive to Playstation".

Has anyone heard about this internet drama where a female developer has been sleeping with numerous games journalists and coincidently then received good reviews for what by many accounts is a pretty ****ty game?

Seems like the usual allegations. Honestly the whole game media industry is a giant old boys network, its really rich to get high and mighty about allegations a woman is sleeping with developers to get good reviews like that is worse than bribery and general corruption. Plus as the article says any media outlet dumb enough to do so deserves whatever happens to it.

I'm sceptical though, 4chan has had it in for this game since it was announced along with miscellaneous other ****stains so the fact it is the developer of that game that is having these accusations leveled at her makes me very suspicious.

Edit: Lol, it was started by her ex-boyfriend after they broke up (http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/zoe-quinn-slut-shaming-the-feminist-conspiracy-and-depression-quest) and he is doing all the usual revenge bull****, one of the reviewers never reviewed the game and 4chans response is to claim a feminist conspiracy got the review deleted, because we all know how easy it is to make things disappear for ever off the interweb:

Like most harassment campaigns against women originating from these communities, this one was started by her ex-boyfriend with the intent to shame and punish. More specifically: his multiple blog posts on their failed relationship where he accuses Quinn of sleeping with various prominent figures in the video game industry, including a writer at Kotaku.

It is here that the harassment campaign—which includes sharing her personal information, defamatory YouTube videos, and weird phone calls to her parents—tries to bill itself as justified: exposing corruption in video game journalism. Gamers have been complaining about corruption in video game journalism for years now (googling "video game journalism corruption" yields 870,000 results, to give you an idea) and the Quinn/ Kotaku writer connection was seen as more proof of just how bad video game journalism has gotten.

Except, the Kotaku writer in question never actually wrote said favorable review about Quinn's game.

Me too, and me too. Whether or not she has done what she has been accused of the fact is most people are just using it as an excuse to bash her as a prominent feminist in the game industry, the irony being she only became prominent because of the harassment she received over her game. Seen lots of comments like 'This is why I don't like feminists' which are so ironic given how these people will scream 'NOT ALL MEN' whenever someone raises an issue of sexism but when some feminist is alleged to have done some ****ty things all of a sudden it is ok to tar every feminist with the same brush.

recently picked up Crusader Kings 2 (at full price two days before it went into the HumbleBundle (https://www.humblebundle.com/) argh) - anyone else play that?
For those who don't, it's a really fun medieval Grand Strategy game. Basically, you pick a ruler (from a "lowly" Count up to Emperor level) and a start date (1066 is the earliest in the basic game, expansions have pushed that back to eighthundredsomething and will push it further back) and then (try to) lead his (or sometimes even her) dynasty to greatness, conquering neighbours, assassinating rivals and mainly worrying about that plucky vassal of yours that keeps throwing weird looks at your throne.
Started my first playthrough as William the Conqueror, freshly crowned King of England. Fought some Scots for Cumberland, took a few bites out of Wales, lost Maine to France but who cares, stomped a few vassals and made friends with some others, among them a certain Duke Morcar of Northumberland and freshly also York (man he loved me after that...). Then I died.
So my son took over, who was a bit of a jerk. As such, he (or I) wasn't all that popular with the Vassals. That guy Morcar, whom my father had granted this enormous amount of land? He totally hated me, and he alone was almost half as powerful as I. And then there were my two brothers, who (perhaps understandably) wanted my crown. Long story short, I spent more time fighting Englishmen than anyone else pretty much, but was quite successful doing that. After the third major rebellion, they started to realize that maybe they should respect me... So I looked outwards again, conquered all of Wales and put a second crown on my head, took various pieces of Scotland who were very busy with their own rebellions and even went on the First Crusade (which failed, mostly because the French didn't join). Then my brothers came looking for another beating, I obliged. Then I died again, surely one of the greater, if not one of the more popular kings in Christianity (even got excommunicated a couple of times...).
So then again a son took over. Oh boy... There isn't really that good of a way to influence how good or bad your heir will be, which is completely fine with me. But... Well he was a craven, fat, cruel, gay, possessed heretic. Which led to every single one of my vassals totally hating me and rebelling... and then the Holy Roman Empire even went all Holy War on me and conquered the entire South-East. At my full power from the last ruler, I sure would have given them a good run for their money, but as it was I was completely lost... But had a ton of fun in the process :D

yeah XCOM is great, and Enemy Within makes it even better. And then there's The Long War, a mod that takes it to a completely new level of awesome (pretty much doubles the content - twice as many classes, boatloads of weapons, missions get way harder, campaign gets waaaay longer, relevant and interesting air combat and so on and so forth).

I bought the Age of Empires collection on Steam sale, Age of Empires II HD with expansion, and Age of Empires 3 with expansion for £7.49. quite fun playing 2 again, to me the HD upgrades seems more effective than the Age of Mythology HD upgrade, which kinda sucked. 3 seems like fun, I quite like the card deck system. bit too zoomed in for me, even when you change the settings to 'very far' I would prefer a wider view. the menu at the bottom takes up too much screen as well, should be smaller. the first campaign mission on malta is useless as well, gives you no clue what your objectives are. skirmish was quite fun though.

I didn't mod FO3, but for NV (on my old laptop so don't have all the names): Nevada Skies (must have imo), Electro City, Wasteland Flora Overhaul, one that adds fast travel markers inside the strip, one that makes companions put on casual outfits on the strip, Populated Casinos, Advanced Recon Stealth Armor (armoured dusters for the cowboy look without the dying), Unlimited Companions, Authentic Burned Man for Honest Hearts), and some gear mods like night vision goggles for the darker nights of Nevada Skies.

1. Nexus mod manager (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/modmanager/?) - helps manage mods
2. F:NV script extender (http://nvse.silverlock.org/) - needed for some more complex mods
3. MTUI (http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/34902/?) - UI to improve text on convesations and other menus
4. Project Brazil (http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/45138/?) - complete conversion to make "Fallout: Brazil"
5. (Project Nevada (http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/40040/?) - I don't like this but it is "popular" but makes fallout more of a FPS game )

deleted the weapon high res texture pack and that seemed to work for a good 45 minutes. then it just crashed again. I have given up and moved on to New Vegas, installed a load of mods with that and so far it has worked perfectly.

I do like it when you reach Nipton and are in a position to kill the Legion there. nothing worse than not being strong enough at that point to kill them all.

the Nevada skies mod is interesting, I liked the dust storm first time it sprung up, but you seem to get at least one every half hour, so between that and pitch black nights I have spent half the game being unable to see a damn thing, which gets old. the rain and lightning looks awesome though.

well I decided to pick up Destiny today. enjoying it so far, but I haven't gotten as far as the end of the Beta so far. IGN are reporting the total play time as 18 hours, which I find pretty astonishing for an MMO type game. people reached the level cap on launch day which again, thinking in MMO terms, is ludicrous. but Bungie have lately been telling everybody that it is not in fact an MMO. despite being a large online multiplayer only game...

the main issue it threw up was telling me my PS4 hard drive is full. I have I think nine disk based games and maybe a dozen download games, and have filled the standard hard drive. which basically means that giving a console like that a 500gb hard drive is a nonsensical waste of time. I had planned to buy a 1TB replacement but clearly that would be a waste of time as well, need a minimum of 2TB to get any sort of decent life span out of it.

well the game itself is fun, and of course 18 hours is double the length of most first person shooters. with different classes there is potential for replay too. it is just that it is a fraction of what I was expecting. there is a big season pass to pay up front for all the future DLC, but it is £35, which is nearly the cost of the game again. I paid £36 after a couple of trade ins. on the one hand it suggests there will be an awful lot of extra content. on the other hand, if that content is all multiplayer maps etc. it wont interest me.

It doesn't matter to you. It matters to a lot of people, mostly women, who, in general, aren't being represented.

What happens if you try and create DayZ in Doom?

http://robertprest.com/doomz/


This is a a remake of DayZ but made in a superior engine in which zombies can't just walk through walls

This is my first time making a doom wad for about 10 years, and my first time using ACS, Decorate and Sbarinfo etc.
This has been done on my own so far, but I am planning to release it, see what people think, and if anyone else is interested
in being a part of it, then they would be very welcome to contribute. It still needs work with the textures, adding guns, improving
the map, or even creating new areas

I want to keep it as similar to DayZ as possible, so if there are bits that aren't there (not including vehicles), please let me know
Obviously playtesting is also needed, especially in multiplayer, and I would appreciate feedback

I have a choice to come with regards to where to go from here. This works single and multiplayer
At the moment it is written for Zdoom, which means that it can't have 3d floors, and it can't have server client multiplayer.
I can either go to GZdoom which would mean that the buildings could be improved and there is more functionality for foliage etc
However, I could go the other way and change it so that it runs with skulltag for internet multiplayer. Currently lots of changes
to the code would need to be made to do this, but it would be much better for multiplayer. If I go with single player then I can use
a hubbed system with, as far as I know, a pretty much infinite map size (just in blocks). But that would have no multiplayer. So yea.

just went to the UK Nintendo eshop to see how much Hyrule Warriors is to download out of curiosity, since you get 10% off if you have a zelda game on your WIi U already. apparently it is sold out. how do you sell out of a digital download?

true.

it is more expensive than the physical copies in store as well. Nintendo just don't get the whole digital distribution thing.

To be fair, they did confirm it was a timed exclusive on the day it was announced, they just didn't make it clear at the conference itself.

By the way, Final Fantasy 15 has a new trailer, and new gameplay demo footage!

Also, Bloodborne has a new gameplay trailer. TGS has been nothing short of astounding this year for Playstation in particular, the amount of new exclusives and return of mysteriously vacant games makes it one of the best ever.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5o8jwqKsDE

If it wasn't already obvious, Bloodborne is pretty much the most hyped next gen game on the biggest gaming forum around right now, and for good reason it seems judging by all the gameplay impressions from top review sits and the amazing trailers! Seriously though, that boss enemy at the end of the trailer....the art design and creature design in particular or this game is sickening in all the right ways.

Well now I'm torn about getting Unity or not.>< I mean this is good, but it still sucks that you can only get a female protagonist in DLC while they have two AC games coming out soon both with brown haired, white, stubbly male protagonists that look virtually identical.

Edit: Oh it is a standalone game, just not a proper 3D stand alone game, just a sidescroller.><

Wildeybeast
09-23-2014, 12:11 AM
Sadly. Though it will be really good. Kinda cool that you get a standalone game as part of the season pass.

Also, pro tip for everyone, do NOT watch an trailers for the season pass. Apparently In trailing the DLC they manage to give away the end of Unity which has pissed a lot of people off.

It is worth pointing out that this isn't an after thought or reaction to the whole male protagonist controversy, the game has been worked on for a while. While that doesn't excuse the lack of protagonist in any of the main games or their ham frosted handling of the issue, at least they have had plans to do another female led game.

Well the problem with Unity was that they were going to have a femal protagonist, then two white male directors said to make itm ale quite early on and everything else was covering for that basically, then all their bull**** excuses. Ubisoft were actually doing better with representation than most AAA developers (bar Bioware and a couple of others) until then.
